Review:

***I would like to thank Rebecca Hamilton for providing me with “Shadow Marked” for free, for my honest review***

I felt that throughout the story that Brooke was given the short end of the deal at every turn. By the end of the book I was thinking fae and witches were no better than the no good Tom. But I did learn something towards the end of the book that help me understand a certain faerie lord better. But I bet most won’t catch it. *grins wickedly* I am not telling you what it is you will need to read it to find out.

Yes it is like Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series. We have a kick butt woman that everyone wants a piece of her or to use her for their gain. Plus there’s this guy offering to help her. However, not being forthcoming until she gets pushed too far and demands answers. Jasmine and Rebecca weave their tale with a picturesque clarity that I truly enjoy. I love how I am transported into their world and don’t want to leave. The ending is a cliff hanger and I need more now! But I will wait as best as I can…
